Storekeeper personnel skill and knowledge requirements are discussed in terms of training, identification, and utilization. Manual skills which predominate in the material handling functions of supply (storerooms and warehouses) are contrasted to the clerical skills which predominate in the administrative functions (inventory and financial control). Supply activities equipped with computers employ techniques unique to automation and impose specific skill and knowledge requirements on Storekeepers. These requirements are compared to those utilized by Storekeepers assigned to non-mechanized (manual) supply systems. (Author)
